Make-up in pregnancy

[Tryingtochill]

Hello all, interested to know how vigilant others are about cosmetics in pregnancy. Have been closely following NHS guidelines which don't mention it much but other advice does... Have switched to more natural moisturisers but recently discovered my concealer has parabens in. Use it everyday but only in small areas, not like a foundation all over face. Have you switched products?

Not at all. Have you searched for any good quality evidence into this? I doubt you'll find any. There's so much scaremongering around pregnancy and hardly any of it is legitimate, unfortunately. I think it serves only to cause excess anxiety - which is probably just as harmful as any miniscule possible risk imo.

I stopped my retinol which is probably a bit overkill and I am missing it! Haven't looked into anything else though. And I am generally pretty blasé.
